Marquita explains Kinder Care provides comprehensive care and education for children from six weeks to twelve years old, including traditional center care, before and aftercare, and a thriving aftercare program.

Parents are recognized as their child's first teachers and are supported in early learning settings through mental health and educational assistance, empowerment, and tools for transitioning into traditional settings

Marquita discusses the emphasis on the partnership between parents and providers in early learning settings, with shared responsibility for supporting the child's development and creating a supportive environment.

Community support plays a crucial role in empowering parents to advocate for their children's well-being, access necessary resources for their development, and develop relationships with providers to effectively address concerns.
